They're one question in four parts: What makes this night so different that we do each of these odd things? And we're not actually doing each of the four things -- most of us aren't reclining, and we are eating vegetables other than the marror.</p>\n\n<p>But still, the question remains: what is so special about this night that Jews around the world (and, often, their friends and non-Jewish members of the family) get together to eat and tell this story?</p>\n\n<p>The tale of the Exodus -- whether or not it actually happened quite as told in the Bible -- is the basic origin story of the Jewish people. When Jacob and his sons first went down from what is now Israel to Egypt, they were not much more than a large family. Once in Egypt, they were set up in a company town. The people in charge there (mostly under commands from their brother Joseph) got them trapped in a cycle of debt from which they couldn't escape, and they eventually became slaves. As we'll discuss in more detail later, after four hundred years they broke free. They were now a large group of many thousands of people in many tribes. Gathered in the desert for another forty years, they unified into a people and returned to the land from which their ancestors had come.</p>\n\n<p>The scholar James Kugel studied the history of those times, and, in his book <em>How to Read the Bible,</em> writes of how he learned that the Biblical story doesn't quite line up with what archaeologists have found. When asked how he can continue to be a devout Jew after learning about this, he said this: Whether the story exactly happened doesn't really matter. What matters is that we have gathered and told each other these stories for thousands of years to bring out their meaning and what they suggest of how we should live our lives.</p>\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "Original", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Maggid - Beginning", "slug": "maggid-beginning" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 170, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Questions about the Questions | Passover haggadah by Joseph Zitt", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Because of rebel activities, the Roman authorities had forbidden gatherings of Jews.

The students were standing guard, ready to caution the rabbis to disband at daybreak, lest they be caught.</p>\n\n<p>This tale may be read as an encouragement to become so joyfully immersed in the seder that we don’t notice the passing of time...and it may also be read as a story of how one liberation begets another.

(Ritually speaking, this includes those who have converted to Judaism.)</p>\n\n<p>Abraham had a son named Isaac. Isaac had a son named Jacob. Jacob had a whole lot of sons (and at least one daughter).</p>\n\n<p>During a famine, Jacob and his sons moved to Egypt.</p>\n\n<p>Fast forward four hundred years, That family grew to become thousands of people, and had become slaves to Egypt's king, the Pharaoh. They were probably involved in building the pyramids.</p>\n\n<p>The Pharaoh was known for sneaky management practices. For example, according to legend, he would occasionally come down and work alongside the slaves for a day. Wanting to show off for the boss, they would work harder than ever, often setting new records for what they would produce. The Pharaoh would then announce that what they had done that day would be their new minimum productivity quota. They would be punished on any day that they produced less than that.</p>\n\n<p>Once (according to Exodus, chapter five), they asked Pharaoh for permission to go out to the desert for three days for a religious festival. Pharaoh said that if they wanted to go on vacation, they were slacking and not busy enough. While they had been making bricks for their buildings, the straw had been brought to them. The new executive order decreed that from then on they would have to harvest the straw themselves -- but they would still have to make as many bricks as they had before.</p>\n\n<p>One day, the Pharaoh's wizards told him that a boy would soon be born to the Hebrew slaves who would overthrow him. He decreed that all male babies born to them were to be killed immediately. </p>\n\n<p>With the help of her midwives, a woman from the tribe of Levi hid her newborn son, placing him in a basket in the Nile. His sister, Miriam, knew that Pharaoh's daughter bathed in the river at that spot. When the princess found the basket, Miriam suggested that she get their mother to nurse him.

Much of the volcanic ash would have fallen over Egypt. Ash from the volcano has been found in the Nile River.</p>\n\n<p>Ash falling into the river would have changed the pH level of the water, increasing the amount of algae. A common algae problem, known as the Red Tide, can cause the water of a river to look like <strong>blood</strong>.</p>\n\n<p>The algae bloom would have killed many of the fish in the river. The fish eat frog eggs. With no fish, an enormous number of these would have hatched into tadpoles and then <strong>frogs</strong>.</p>\n\n<p>When the frogs died off, perhaps from over-population, <strong>lice</strong> and other bugs would have fed on them.</p>\n\n<p>The invasion of wild animals doesn't fit well -- but a lot of mostly Christian scholars (according to Wikipedia) translate \"arov\" as <strong>flies</strong>, which would fit in the the bugs of the previous plague. (Surprisingly, there was no plague of cats, which would have been ironically appropriate. The Egyptians loved cats.)</p>\n\n<p>So: lots of dead fish and flies are around, plus lice, flies, and maybe other animals invading what had been human space. It's <strong>pestilence</strong> time.</p>\n\n<p>The next one is pretty easy. The bug bites and pestilence could have led to <strong>boils</strong>.</p>\n\n<p>Ash high in the air can cause water to freeze around it, causing <strong>hail</strong>. Legends also speak of fire in the air. Volcanos can cause red lightning.</p>\n\n<p>The hail, once it melted in the hot Egyptian air, would have saturated the ground. Locusts love damp weather, since they bury their eggs in the ground. All that precipitation could have led to a record number of <strong>locusts</strong>.</p>\n\n<p>Ash in the air from volcanoes has also been known to block out the sun for days at a time. Hence: <strong>darkness</strong>.</p>\n\n<p>In Egypt, the <strong>first born</strong> of families got to eat first and sometime were the only ones to eat in a famine. After the locusts ate everything, the only grain left might have been in vaults. With all that dampness and locust droppings everywhere, the grain could have developed poisonous mold. If the first born ate before everyone else, they would have been the ones killed by the grain.</p>\n\n<p>So there could be an explanation for the plagues. But for everything to happen at exactly the right time and in the right order is pretty, well, miraculous.</p>\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "Adapted from a haggadot.com page by Jordana Goodman", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Ten Plagues", "slug": "ten-plagues" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 134, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Explaining the Plagues | Passover haggadah by Joseph Zitt", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

(The Bible doesn't say why, if they were able to carry all that dough as well as the gold and silver that the Egyptians handed them, they didn't also take some yeast, but maybe they baked bread differently from how we're used to doing it.)</p>\n\n<p>As we said earlier, <em>matzah</em> is the bread of affliction, the bread of poverty. Compared to much other bread, <em>matzah</em> is, well, boring. It's fun to eat at the seder table and as an option at other times in the year, but when you're stuck eating it for an entire week, it's easy to get tired of it. (And the crumbs get into everything.)</p>\n\n<p>And that's the point. <em>Matzah</em> helps us remember that, compared to a lot of other people in the world and even nearby, we're privileged in many ways that might not be otherwise apparent. Health issues aside (and those can indeed be a huge restriction), we can pretty much eat whatever we want, whenever we want it. Any food that we can imagine is pretty much within reach.</p>\n\n<p>But a lot of people have no choice in what to eat or the conditions in which they live. They are at the mercy of weather conditions, political crises, wars, the lack of education, and a myriad of other causes that mean that they can eat only what they can get at with limited resources. In much of the US, we have (at least at the moment) organizations and agencies working to try to fill in the gaps and to get people the resources that they need, but it's not so in remote locations and food deserts here, or in many other places in the world.</p>\n\n<p>Being limited to Passover foods for a week makes us more mindful of our eating and the resources that we have available. And the best thing is that it lasts only a week. After the limitations we take on during Passover, regular food tastes better. For those who can eat bread and the other foods that we don't have during that week, the first taste of it afterward can be wonderful.</p>\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "Original", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Cup #2 & Dayenu", "slug": "cup-2-amp-dayenu" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 149, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "The Matzah | Passover haggadah by Joseph Zitt", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

Still others are drawn from the resources at <u>haggadot.com</u>, which also provided the tools and template used to put it together, and from the writings of Rabbi Rachel Barenblat (also known as The Velveteen Rabbi). And some resources and songs are from places that may come as a surprise. You can tell where each section came from by looking at the Source information under its title.</p>\n\n<p>The texts are meant to encourage thought and conversation (though we'll also want to keep things moving, so extended conversations might work best during the meal itself or after the Seder).</p>\n\n<p>There are a lot of Hebrew words in the <em>haggadah</em> , but don't worry: almost every word in Hebrew is transliterated into English letters and also translated into English. For pronouncing the Hebrew words, a good rule of thumb is to pronounce the vowels as in Italian and the consonants as in Klingon.</p>\n\n<p>Here we go -- enjoy!</p>\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "Original", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Introduction", "slug": "introduction" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 169, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Prelude | Passover haggadah by Joseph Zitt", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.
